Best Party Entertainers Washington Near Me

Courtney Hyde: We have nothing but great things to say about The Great Zucchini! I am the Education Director at The Goddard School located in Rockville, Maryland. I cannot count how many times we have booked The Great Zucchini each year to bring laugh out loud entertainment to our students. Their uncontrollable laughter is why we keep bringing him back! His interactive shows bring a smile to all of our age groups. We constantly have parents asking for his contact information, and have had families book him for their own child’s birthday parties. If you are looking for someone to spice up any event with fun, energy and laughter, The Great Zucchini is your guy! Thank you for all you do for us, Eric! Courtney Anderson

Kristen Murray: My son had the best 5th birthday ever with the Great Zuchini! All of the kids could not stop laughing, including our 3 year old. It was a windy day at the park so he finished with some fun games that the kids really enjoyed and they still were laughing and having fun. Thanks for making his day and ours!

Grace Pratt: Our son had the best 5th birthday with the Great Zucchini! The whole group was mesmerized by his show. Ages 2-7 were totally engrossed. I’ve never seen a group of children sit so still :) He found a way to make each child feel special and a part of the show.

Stacey Maresco: We had a super experience with The Great Zucchini for my child’s 4th birthday. He arrived early to setup and was ready to go exactly on time as my guests arrived. More than that, he MADE the birthday party! The kids couldn’t stop laughing, screaming and giggling at each trick. As a parent, this made a huge difference for the birthday. The show was roughly 40 minutes and every bit of it was hysterical for the kids. I only wish we could have him back next year — not sure how to top this birthday!

Kristin Cazenave: We had an absolute blast during The Great Zucchini’s show at our son’s birthday! The kids were so engaged and rolling on the floor laughing… even out 17 month old! The pandemic has put a damper on our last few years of birthday parties, so this was just the perfect thing to make our little guy’s birthday extra special! Thanks so much to The Great Zucchini!

MaiLien Le: We just had The Great Zucchini perform at my son’s 5th birthday. He had the kids enthralled from the second he started his performance until the very end. The kids attending ranged in age from about 2-7 (most in the 4-5 year range) they all had a blast, laughing hysterically and participating in all of the games. He made sure everyone felt included and it was very clear that he understands how to captivate this age group. My son said it was “the best day ever” and asked when he could see The Great Zucchini again. It was a wonderful time, worth the hype and worth every penny to see the joy in all of the kids faces.

lauren Camilli: Hired The Great Zucchini for a backyard pre-school graduation party for 4-5 year olds and all the kids absolutely loved the show! He held their attention the entire show and they never stopped laughing. The audience participation was also so great for this age group. I highly recommend him for any kids event.

Megan Vorthman: We had a wonderful experience with superhero Stu! He performed as Spider-Man at my children’s 3rd and 5th Birthday Party. He came early, set up and had some one on one time with the kids before the party started. He made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted and kept all of the kids, which were all mixed ages from 3-10 years old, engaged throughout the party. Thanks for such a memorable party!

jessica batten: Superhero Stu is amazing! There are not enough stars to rate how amazing Spider-Man (Ivan) was. The kids and parents absolutely loved Spiderman, most importantly the birthday boy. Multiple kids at the party said it was the best party ever and they had the best time ever. Parents commented on how amazing and awesome impersonator Spider-Man (Ivan) was from his appearance, his Spider-Man’s voice, and all the cool and fun activities he had for the kids. He stayed engaged with the kids and kept their interest. He even jumped in the bouncy castle with the kids and had an impromptu game of hide and go seek hiding the birthday boy. I can’t say enough great things. He was worth every penny. I am a picky mom and I was more than pleased with the turn out. I would definitely recommend Superhero Stu and use him again in the future.

Skyelar Riseling Haith: Superhero Stu is a must for any superhero-loving kids birthday! Spiderman showed up and kept 20+ four and five year olds entertained for an hour!! He even engaged the birthday boy and his brother while we set up by letting them be his assistants. They loved it! His set up is fun and vibrant and would work indoor or out. He took time for posed pictures before the party with my son as well as group pictures with all the kids before Spiderman vanished. He even had a Spiderman action figure for the birthday boy, which is still one of his favorites!

Jzaleh Abbasi: We really lucked out with getting SuperHero Stu booked for our 4 year old’s birthday party. Stu was very professional and accommodating to my changing event schedule. Day of the party, he arrived extra early to set up his starions, which we really appreciated! As Spider Man’s helper, ahead of the party, he was interactive with our son and let him play with some of the superhero gear and tag along during setup. In costume, he was great at taking on the room full of chaotic kids & getting the our event and kids organized for super hero training activities. He had a lot of props and activity stations and the kids really had a blast. Highly recommend, as we felt he went above and beyond for our event needs. Thanks!

Madelen Q: What an amazing experience! We were super happy with Mirabel! It was a dream come true for our daughter! She was amazing! 💜

Agnes Kalinowska: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValuePrincess Parties of DC were so accommodating, extremely responsive and easy to work with. The performers were true professionals. Arrived early and from the moment they entered, they run the show, keeping the kids 100% occupied and happy! Thank you very much for a great service. Highly recommend.

Neal Bankenstein: Moana was an amazing performer who made all of the kids feel appreciated and entertained. She was also an amazing singer!

Gloria Mills: Amazing company! Highly recommended will be hiring them again! The owner was fast and highly communicative throughout the entire event before during and after. The princesses were wonderful with our kids and their singing was out of this world!

Mohammad Ahmad: This was such a good choice! My daughter turned 4 and we went in with fairly moderate expectations. Nothing too much. We had Cadence as Elsa. She was absolutely phenomenal. What a kind and abundantly loving woman. She was so good with the kids. I mean the patience and the direction she had with the kids. It felt like a party for adults and the princess took over and did a great job doing so. I would definitely recommend. Jacklyn was so easy to book with. We got sick our first party date and she allowed us to reschedule. Just a great company overall. Totally undervalued and I don’t mean just monetarily. We will be using them again for sure!

madalina petric: We had a fantastic experience with Princess Parties of DC. The artists hired were talented, carrying and keeping all the children busy with all the great activities. The owner is so sweet and helpful. My daughter turned two, and she had a blast! Thank you again for all you do! I highly recommend this company!

Heather Rankin: We hired Ariel for our daughter’s 4th birthday and it was everything we dreamed of. Not only did she look the part but her voice & personality was just as beautiful. We had the best experience and I highly recommend to anyone wanting to make some amazing memories. We are also very appreciative that Ariel was able to come since this was a very last minute request to get a princess. Would add more stars if we could!!!

Kayla Howse: We had an AMAZING experience! Jacklyn is so sweet and help. She helped guide me through the process and was very accommodating, she made sure I had no questions. We had Tiana and Moana and they were super sweet and great singers! They were very professional too. The other moms asked for the info and I gladly provided it! Will definitely book again!

Cynthia Lopez: My 6-year old daughter really enjoyed the week-long Dinosaur-themed Mad-Science. I loved that she made new friends (even though I sent her with her classmate), learned, had lots to talk about to us when they came home each day, and were tired. The counselors seemed good and Wil, the Director, was Fantastic. As a first-time summer camp mom, he was super responsive, understanding, and helpful. Knowing what I know now, I will definitely be signing my kids up next summer. Thank you!

Lisa Devlin: Will was super easy to work with in scheduling the event, and Dr. T was a delight for the kids. He kept a bunch of seven-year olds engaged and entertained for a full hour. I loved the educational aspect of the show, which was presented in a fun, kid-friendly way. We received lots of compliments from the other parents as well. I highly recommend using Mad Science for a kid birthday party!

Emily Adler: Hiring Mad Science to help me host myd grader’s 7th birthday party was the best decision I could of made! The kids were fully entertained for an hour, and Dr Tony had my son assist a few times, and acknowledged his birthday, which was amazing! The cotton candy at the end was also a hit. Thank you for making his day a really fun one!!

Joyce Adams: My son and his friends had an amazing time at his Zoom Birthday celebration with Mad Science. Things That Go Boom was amazing!!! Dr. Sara was so much fun and energetic. She taught the kids so much about each experiment and she kept them smiling and laughing the entire time. Dr. Sara made my son, the Birthday Boy the star of the show! I would definitely recommend Mad Science to my friends. I have already gotten several inquiries about how to contact the company. This show is a must see for kids and adults alike. What a great experience! Thank you Mad Science and Dr. Sara!

Sunmi Kim: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueKids and parents had the best time! We chose things that go boom. The mad scientist (Asian male) who came to our house was super entertaining and awesome. And really good with kids. We totally want him to come again!

Vonda Wright: My company has had 2 events now run by this business. Each time very professional staff hosted our game tables, patiently lead our guests through games, and helped us have a memorable time. Their equipment looks good and authentic, and they are engaging. The proof in their great service is that after 5 years, we remembered them and reached out again for our 10year Anniversary celebration.

Hyesun Jung: Showbiz Production did an amazing job at our corporate holiday party. I called and emailed Steve so many times and he always answered the phone and replied the email right away. His team really lightened up the mood when we played the game. Everyone had so much fun playing blackjacks and roulettes! Highly recommend Showbiz for corporate event!

Mary Fitch: Show Biz Productions made our event so easy to produce and so much fun for our guests. Set up and take down was seamless and everyone enjoyed gambling with giant amounts of funny money. Based on this experience we will make this an annual event.

Lisa Valente: I was on the coordinating team for my organization’s Zoom OctoberFest celebration. This wasn’t just any zoom event. Why? Because we hired Casino Parties by Showbiz Productions. They were absolutely fantastic -from the signing of the contract to our BIG event. Everyone had a blast and took them out of a boring Zoom meeting and into a Las Vegas Showroom with dealers, game hosts and every thing you can imagine. We were transported fir a few hours. My only regret… it wasn’t long enough!!

Denisse Velasco: Best casino night services in town!!! Very professional, friendly, and great attention to detail. Them customizing our fun money with the company logo turned out great.

Julia Graham: My company hired Bruce to run an hour long virtual trivia for our DC office. He has the BEST energy; shares lots of fun facts along with each trivia answer and the platform he uses is super easy to use (just wish it selected the answers for me....). Highly recommend!!

Christine Macdonald: Fantastic holiday party! The entire staff at Show Biz Productions was professional, easy to work with and incredibly helpful in planning the event. The dealers who worked the party were awesome. They patiently explain the games to those who had never played before and kept the games lively by interacting with the players. There is already talk around the office of having another casino party next year. Great fun. Highly recommend Show Biz!

van dao: Super fun and nice to work with! Our school worked with Show Biz Productions in order to do a virtual casino night and it was so fun! Our students had so much fun and I have to agree that this is one of the most fun things you can do on zoom!

Shannon Brown: Show Biz productions are the best casino company in the dmv . We had a casino emergency when another vendor cancelled on us 1 hour prior to the event. I was so hurt because the casino was our main feature. I then called Steve from Showbiz and in 1 hour Steve had a truck to us full of casino equipment and dealers he did this in an hourrrrr . The dealers were amazing funny and professional , Steve the owner even picked up dealers with no cars and brought them to the event AND he stayed as the pit boss . Im so grateful for them saving our event at PayPal . He is the best and we will never go with anyone else for any casino event because Showbiz Showed us they can do it all. Thank You so much , if you want a good casino event thats handled go with Showbiz .

Carol Nguyen: I’m so glad I booked Minnie Mouse character at Clown n Around for my daughter’s 3rd birthday party! My daughter was a bit shy at her bday at the beginning but as soon as Minnie Mouse arrived, my daughter danced with Minnie and started to open up to all of us. Thank you, Clown n Around for cheering my daughter up! The two cast members were highly enthusiastic and entertaining throughout the whole hour with greeting guests, engaging our little kids to a dance party with popular kids music, singing happy birthday and to top it off the face painting and balloon art was super fun for the kids. Definitely will hire Clown n Around for future events. I couldn’t be happier with the entertainment that was provided!

S J: My daughter and her friends had the best time for her birthday. Even the parents had fun. Highly recommend. Thank you Dashon and Nick for making her birthday a day to remember!

Diana Bulgac: Ppl do post fake reviews for this business !!!!! They charge a premium price and deliver a very poor amusement and entertainment for the event. I will share my experience: how horrible it was , we got the silver package , the ppl that showed up for the event looked exhausted, they didn’t try to get kids attention, as they came they set by the table and they were like glued there ! We had an emergency call 2 days prior the event to organize the amusement for the Birthday Party . They have a really good sales man! Ppl who they hire, have not even 25% of his energy! In the package was a puppet show , oh don’t expect something grandiose, was not good ! And the girl who was presenting all this stuff, were all the time on the phone, reading her script. It was just not was promised. In the package was a present for the Birthday Person from the character-guest what never was delivered. The package came with ballon twisting , only one person twisted ballon’s from 3 and she knew only 2 simple designs to tight them . Face painting was done by 1 person only and she didn’t do a good job either. I was like every 10 minutes trying to move them, asking what’s the plan guys ! Just don’t hire them! Find better some teenagers to organize some games with the kids and it will be a cheaper and more fun event that this company! If you need more details , feel free to contact me, i will share pictures and videos

Saif Khan: Went to a party last week where they were suppose to entertain. Their were suppose to be 3 clowns, One girl came late and Spider-Man was in the bathroom for 2 hours because this was his first time. Their good rating got me .

Adeel Shad: Terrible terrible terrible ! I want an apology from the con Artist who ruined my party .

Kion Goharian: EE provided the DJ service for our wedding and did an amazing job! Can’t recommend DJ Saam enough… had multiple people tell my wife and I after the wedding how much they loved the music. EE was also accommodating with their policies during some of the covid induced challenges we had. Highly recommend!

Jessica Dickman: We loved working with your team for our event and DJ Ssam was perfect for the overall event and experience. The client was so happy and we really enjoyed working with your team and hope we can work together again in the future.

Fola Akintomide: I want to say a very big thank you to Exclusively Entertainment for a job well done and for the services provided during my birthday party on Friday October 12, 2018. I really appreciate the excellent customer service, prompt response and follow up provided by the team right from the first day I made my inquiry, through out the process to execution and delivery. Exclusively Entertainment paid attention to all the details and was willing to work with me to ensure I had a lovely event. The technicians who came to set up arrived on time, very professional and friendly. Plus, set-up was completed in a timely manner. The up-lighting was beautiful, the intelligent lights added a touch of elegance to the ballroom, the monogram projection was simply perfect. Wow! the ballroom was so beautiful and everything well coordinated. My guests had a great experience and lasting impression about the party. I really look forward to doing more business with your team. Thank you so much for working with me all the day way. I am highly satisfied with the services provided and I give the Exclusively Entertainment team a Five Star rating for a job well done!

Fareed Aref: We worked with several vendors for our wedding and one really stood high and tall. Exclusively Entertainment was a real joy to work both in getting prepped for the wedding , but also during the wedding. Lighting and entertainment were both fantastic. Highly, highly recommend EE for anyone looking to work with a professional, experienced company who truly cares about the outcome of their service and its impact on the people they touch.

Alyssa Molina: We had an amazing time! I will probably use this company for many more fun birthdays to come! They were very friendly, very professional and it took away the stress of keeping littles entertained. They were always very responsive to emails and kept constant communication leading up to the event. Overall, the best experience yet!

Gabby Curley: I am so thankful I found OUAT parties. They are exactly what I was looking for as entertainment as well as a special memory for my little princess turning 3. We booked princess Ariel who was actually already booked for an earlier party and they STILL accepted my booking! I’m very thankful because the performance Ariel gave was outstanding & heartfelt. She made a point to constantly give my daughter “the birthday girl” special attention while still catering to all the other children. All of our party guests raved about the singing, games and even her realistic appearance as a “Disney” like quality Princess. I am already considering booking for future birthdays for my princess because now we want to meet all the princesses! I would also like to mention they traveled quite a way and were on time & so joyful and positive! The photographer is also very talented and provided many beautiful images !

Matthew DeConciliis: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, ResponsivenessA memorable experience from booking to event! Highly recommend to make your event simply magical. Professional and authentic Princess experience. Definitely will be one of my best parties we have ever had. Thank You Princess Aurora!!

Elizabeth Lapczynski: I hired Once Upon a Time Parties D.C. for my daughter’s 5th birthday party. From the initial inquiry to the party itself, everyone was extremely professional, courteous, and kind. Ariel made the party magical and extra special for my daughter. The coronation ceremony was adorable! Boys, girls, and the adults loved having Ariel at the party. She never broke character once and she made a point to engage every child at the party. I would highly recommend using Once Upon a Time Parties for anyone looking to make a birthday party or celebration extra magical. I know I intend on using them again!

Shannon G: Positive: Professionalism, ResponsivenessI found this company online and was blown away by the quick response and professionalism from their staff. It was easy to book a princess for my daughter’s 6th birthday. Belle was beautifully dressed and the girls were in awe in her presence. She read them a story, sang songs, did a craft and more. We had a great time. Thank you!

Nathan Peoples: TOTE was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. The salesperson Karen was extremely responsive and personable . She saw that I was able to get the inflatable event I desired the same week of my event. The delivery driver,Justin, was on time and friendly and setup everything up. I never had to worry about anything during the whole process. The inflatable I rented for my younger brother’s party was fun for everyone. I will be recommending their services to my friends and certainly using them again.

Jessica Chen: TOTT Events made our Fall Formal at Georgetown University a success! I want to especially call out Karen, who saw this project through from the earliest inkling of an idea to the complete buildout of an amazing event. Karen communicated through all channels (phone, zoom, text) and personally made sure that the event went off without a hitch. She also offered her industry experience in designing the event, choosing the decor, as well as timing the setup for the day of the event. Details: The theme that we chose was A Night in Monte Carlo, and the venue was the Washington Plaza Hotel. We hosted about 500 attendees.

Nicole Saulsbury: Talk of The Town is incredible! In the midst of the pandemic they have been offering services to promote normalcy for everyone. This year we utilized their virtual Santa meeting for my three children (1, 3, and 5 years old). The whole experience was amazing. My children were so happy they got to “see” Santa! Santa put on quite the show and the kids absolutely loved it. In the past we have also used their moon bounces and water sliced for kids birthday parties and they are also such a hit! I would highly recommend Talk of the Town to anyone who asks!

Amanda Oh: We chose Talk of the Town to produce a large quantity of customized face masks for our company. The quality of the face masks was great and the pricing unmatched by other vendors we spoke to. Steve was courteous, professional, and prompt throughout the whole process from design to delivery. He kept us in the loop during production, provided shipping updates, and also followed up to see if we were happy with our face masks once delivered. It is without a doubt we will be using ToT for other future company swag, as well as recommending them to other businesses, family and friends. Thank you!

Keith Shanklin: I never write reviews, but Talk of the Town deserves one! I had an absolutely perfect experience with them renting a dunk tank for my kids 16th birthday. I had never done anything like this before and was so hoping that everything would go smoothly and that the tank would work as I expected it to. IT DID! I was able to have my parents pick it up with their pick up truck on their way to my house on the day before the party, we used it all the next day for the party and returned it the following day. Everyone got dunked and we had a BLAST!!! Dealing with Karen at the office was so easy and she was totally professional and responsive. I would recommend Talk of the Town to anybody!

Amy K: Steve was so responsive to our initial request and sent us photos and options to select the perfect Happy Birthday yard sign. He showed up early to assemble and sent us photos of the lawn via text (we live out of state) to make sure it was up to our expectations. It was! Cost was so reasonable considering how much joy this brought my father in law. Thank you Talk of the Town! We will be calling you again for the next Maryland family member’s birthday :)

Mel C: My wedding was a bit hectic and my wedding planner doubled booked that day so she was MIA. He was great. He managed to keep the night flowing well. He made sure to talk to the caterers to time things correctly. My wedding planner really made a mess of the seating chart but Knightrin really worked to make the day run as smoothly as possible. He was available to make the playlist and adjusted when things were not running on time. Honestly really happy with his service. He also handled my overbearing African parents well!

Chauntae John-Toussaint: Professional, punctual, polite! The atmosphere was transformed into a masterpiece greater than my dreams. The way the hits kept coming in one after the other was amazing!!!

Sophia Ferguson: I hired DJ Knightrin for my birthday/housewarming party and Larry was amazing!!! From the beginning we connected and he did not disappoint. Larry was a professional throughout the process and went above and beyond. He exceeded my expectations and the price was more than fair given I was on a budget. All my guests raved about the DJ...the music was on point. I was able to create a playlist and Larry read the crowd and played accordingly. I will definitely use DJ Knightrin again and HIGHLY recommend him for your event.

MsJlaw13: Knightrin Entertainment provides excellent DJ service. Larry (DJ Knightrin) has an expansive music collection and is able to accommodate many different genres such as Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, Soca, Reggae, Techno, Funk, Country, Alternative, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Gospel, etc... He was timely, friendly, and provided excellent customer service. He knows how to create and direct the atmosphere necessary to keep the audience entertained. His prices were reasonable and well worth the services I received. I highly recommend this business!

Johnia J: Larry, Sam and the other lovely DJ that accompanied them, were all so great!! They made us feel like part of the family, and we were happy to have them celebrate with ours. They were very professional, and their set up was amazing! We were so happy with how everything turned out. Everyone had a great time. Lots of good memories. We will definitely recommend Knightrin Entertainment!!!

Jonathan Chavez: My two boys love laser tag, so I decided to book G-Force since it’s safer to host events outdoors during the pandemic. Everything was basically perfect!!! They were on time and had everything prepared. I really liked that everything could be set up outdoors. It made my guests feel comfortable & safe. I will be using G-Force Laser Tag services again. I definitely recommend!!!

Stephanie Mina: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueAmazing experience ! From the start to end ! Customer service was great ! We spoke with Sarah and she guided us through this whole process.The kids had so much fun! Not only the kids but the adults did too (: I will definitely be calling GForce Laser tag for my next event.

Glenn Waco: Amazing service, the family really enjoyed yourselves and customer service was very efficient.

Travis Chan: This service was amazing! Will definitely use again!

Emanuel Gallmon: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueThey were professional and experienced. The kids had a really good time and I felt completely safe! I recommend GForce Laser Tag!!!

Emily Sangster: Very disappointing experience. Please do not use this company.

Ahmad Elem: Positive: ProfessionalismIt’s hard to find something for the kids to do during this pandemic. This was a great solution. They came on time set up everything (we had a backyard) and the kids were really excited and had so much fun. Thank you.

LAKISHA BETHEL: Positive: Quality, Value

Alphonso Bell: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

Rachel Holmer: Eric Energy came to our school assembly. I had the honor of chaperoning and can tell you with absolute certainty that we will ask him to return in the future. He is filled to the brim with energy and his sparkle is contagious. Eric had the teachers up and dancing during dismissal. The kids were enthralled with him and loved his work with dry ice. Eric is a performer at heart and knows how to maintain the attention of the room. I highly recommend him for all of your science entertainment needs.

Ranjini Iyengar: Highly recommend Eric Energy for your next kids event. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing his performance multiple times at school events and at other venues. Always a high energy, interactive event that the kids truly enjoy! Thank you for entertaining so many kids! Looking forward to seeing you again. Bonus: he is super easy to book and work with.

Amanda Priebe: Eric Energy puts on an amazing show! The kids were laughing, participating, and learning! Perfect show for our audience of varying aged kids.

M jordan: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueEric Energy has entertained the children at our holiday and birthday parties for several years. The children love him! the parents love him! He puts on a great show!

Tara Matthews: Eric was AMAZING for my daughter’s birthday party. Adults and children had an amazing time…we highly recommend him!!! A day to remember!

Shneur Zalman Minkowitz: We got Eric for an outdoor event During COVID and the participants LOVED it.He is as his name describes full of great Energy. And he knows just how to get the crowd going.
